His quiet life is shattered, however, when his ex-wife Karen (Anne Hathaway) tracks him down with a desperate plea for help. She begs Dill to save her – and their young son – from her new, violent husband (Jason Clarke) by taking him out to sea on a fishing excursion, only to throw him to the sharks and leave him for dead. Karen’s appearance thrusts Dill back into a life he’d tried to forget, and as he struggles between right and wrong, his world is plunged into a new reality that may not be all that it seems. The soundtrack and film will be released on January 25th, 2019.

Other recent projects include Gore Verbinski’s A CURE FOR WELLNESS and the Steven Spielberg produced short film AUSCHWITZ, directed by Academy Award® winner, James Moll.

https://scoretrackinenglish.wordpress.com/2019/01/16/varese-sarabande-re-releases-the-west-wing-original-television-soundtrack/#respondWed, 16 Jan 2019 20:36:08 +0000http://scoretrackinenglish.wordpress.com/?p=8169(January 16, 2019 – Los Angeles, CA) – Varèse Sarabande Records is about to release a single CD from THE WEST WING – Original Television Soundtrack on January 18, 2019. The TV music fans have spoken and the new release of W. G. Snuffy Walden’s (THIRTYSOMETHING, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, THE WONDER YEARS) compositions from THE WEST WING is their answer.

“As I turned the pages of that first script, the rich characters and informative stories captivated me,” said Walden in describing his first reaction to THE WEST WING. “I was convinced: this would be an opportunity that was very rare in network television. As the project got deeper into production, it became obvious that this was exceptional work and I was blessed to be a part of the experience.”

When the erudite Democrat Josiah “Jed” Bartlet is elected U.S. president, he installs his administration. He places confidants from his electoral campaigns in the White House. Each of these people plays a significant role in the Washington power game: the Chief of Staff (Leo McGarry), his deputy (Josh Lyman), Communications Director (Toby Zeigler), deputy (Sam Seaborn, and later, Will Bailey), and press secretary (CJ Cregg). Also in key positions are the assistants of each of the power players. We follow these people through many political battles, as well as some personal ones. Also playing roles are the First Lady (Abigail Bartlet), the President’s daughters (Elizabeth, Eleanor, and Zoey), and the personal aide to the President (Charlie Young). All make this series, which supposedly follows the political events (often paraphrasing historical reality) almost day by day, more than merely a political soap.

“With our schedule and its breakneck speed, we hardly had time to give a second thought to what we were creating, but I knew it was magical,” Walden explained. “I wasn’t able to appreciate the artistry of the collective achievement in the moment, but I could feel its magnitude in the response from the devotees who watched it religiously every week!”

For seven years, Walden’s theme for THE WEST WING was as presidential as “Hail to the Chief.” The theme became “a piece of music that everybody identified with,” Walden says. “It was magical how people felt proud to be an American when they hear that music. I don’t know how else to say it. I’ve just been told over and over and over again through the years by people who’ve been so moved by that.”

Informer is a complex story that explores identity and how a situation can change the perception of an individual. Raza, a young second generation British-Pakistani man from East London is coerced by Gabe, a Counter-Terrorism Officer into informing for him. Gabe, who has a past he wants to remain secret, is joined by Holly, his new and ambitious partner whose endless curiosity becomes a threat to him. As the central counter-terrorism investigation heats up, the stakes for all three, their families and relationships, get higher and higher.

Composed as five stand-alone pieces of music, the score is made up of repeating lines of melodies performed by individual instruments. This reflects the dynamic of the characters in the show, as they weave in and out of each other’s lives with their own agendas. The score is made up from variations of these pieces of music.

The album is presented with each complete piece and its variations following so that the listener can unravel the elements in the main piece. The score features vocals by Daisy Chute, former member of the classical cross over vocal quartet All Angels. It is performed by Sinfonia Nord and conducted by Atli Örvarsson.

https://scoretrackinenglish.wordpress.com/2019/01/09/lakeshore-releases-three-identical-strangers-original-motion-picture-soundtrack/#respondWed, 09 Jan 2019 20:21:59 +0000http://scoretrackinenglish.wordpress.com/?p=8155Lakeshore Records has released of the soundtrack to the heartwarming story Three Identical Strangers on iTunes and Apple Music on December 14th, and on all other digital platforms on January 4th, 2019.

Directed by Tim Wardle with original music from Paul Saunderson. Three Identical Strangers tells the story of three complete strangers accidentally discover that they are identical triplets, separated at birth. The 19-year-olds’ joyous reunion catapults them to international fame, but it also unlocks an extraordinary and disturbing secret that goes beyond their own lives – and could transform our understanding of human nature forever.

“Three Identical Strangers is a thought provoking, emotional rollercoaster of a story, full of twists and turns and I wanted the score to follow suite, and really connect with the audience to help them feel the raw emotion of what these boys went through. I knew at the beginning of the project that scoring this true story would be a challenge, as the film deals with very sensitive real subject matters.”

“The score was recorded with the London Contemporary Orchestra (two cellos, violin and a piano), along with a range of bowed metals, bowed guitars and electronics. With this line up I was able to create interesting organic textures proving useful for the cues relating to mental illness and the darker psychological moments in the film. The unusual choice for the two cellos instead of the traditional trio line up was made to help create an unconventional sound, with the first cello playing mostly high in its register, almost fragile in it’s timbre.”

“From the beginning of the process the director and I set out to create a very organic and cinematic score. Having a small collection of instruments helped to keep the music focused and give it an identity. It was important to me to keep the music sounding cohesive despite the large range of styles and moods that occur.”

“I feel that we really found the perfect balance of story telling, being powerful and emotive where the score needed to be without becoming to overwhelming and at the same time creating something unique.”
